Interested in Joining the KEF Board?

Parents at Hilltop School have many talents and skills that contribute to KEF’s success. Prospective candidates need to attend a KEF board meeting prior to the annual election in May. Each Hilltop parent or teacher who has paid KEF membership dues as of the end of April is entitled to one vote. In order to meet the KEF quorum requirement, KEF must receive signed ballots from at least 20% of KEF members. If you are interested in joining the KEF board, please contact Bhrett Lash.
